DC overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 10-DC 2P B16 6kA 002128716

DC Circuit Breaker – Reliable Installation Protection

This two-pole circuit breaker from the ETIMAT 10 series, designed for direct current (DC) operation, is a key element ensuring safety in photovoltaic installations, battery charging systems and other DC applications. A rated current of 16A and a short-circuit interrupting capacity of 6kA guarantee effective protection against overloads and short circuits.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with B characteristic is designed to protect circuits against the effects of overload and short-circuit currents. The B characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts quickly to an increase in current, which is particularly important for electronic loads and sensitive devices. Use in DC installations requires circuit breakers dedicated to this type of voltage – standard AC circuit breakers will not provide adequate protection. Thanks to its compact dimensions (2 module width), it is easy to mount in standard distribution boards.

Key features and benefits

• DC Protection: Specifically designed for operation with direct current, providing optimal protection for DC installations.
• High Breaking Capacity: Rated short-circuit interrupting capacity of 6kA at 400V and 230V ensures effective response in the event of a failure.
• Compact Dimensions: 2 module width makes it easy to install in limited distribution board space.
• B Characteristic: Fast response to current increase, ideal for protecting electronic loads and sensitive devices.
• Energy Limitation Class 3: Provides high resistance to arc energy generated during a short circuit.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Possibility of operation at temperatures from -25°C to +55°C allows use in various environmental conditions.
• Expandability: Compatibility with additional accessories allows the circuit breaker to be adapted to individual installation needs.
• Compliance with Standards: The product meets the requirements of EN 60898 standard, which guarantees its safety and reliability.

Thanks to these features, the ETIMAT 10-DC circuit breaker is a solid and effective solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable protection of their DC electrical installations.
